I haven't really listened to many records released this year.
Stuff i listened to a lot:

Neneh Cherry and The Thing - The Cherry Thing
Blues Control - Valley Tangents
Carter Tutti Void
Fennesz/Dafeldecker/Brandlmayr - Till the old world’s blown up and a new one is created
Rython - The Emerald Tablet
Imikuzushi
Chris Corsano - Cut

that, Kendrick and Fiona are absolutely perfect. i've heard The Seer and it was fucking epic, i can see why people are calling it the album of the year though it wasn't really my thing, i don't think i could ever sit through that 30 min track again haha.
